Bilateral series are hardly hyped up. But the air of this India vs Australia ODI series feels different. For the first time in eight months, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will don the blue of India after their retirements in Tests and T20I. The narrative has only revolved around Ro-Ko who will also play under Shubman Gill for the very first time. While there is some cloud coverage in Perth, India have handed an ODI debut to Nitish Kumar Reddy, who continues to be groomed as a seam-bowling all-rounder. As for Australia, they are missing Pat Cummins and various other players. Mitchell Marsh got rewarded with luck as he chose to bowl first.
